In Detail Bajaj Almond Drops Non Sticky Hair Oil with Vitamin E Review and My Experience

This hair oil comes in a thick glass packaging. The mouth of the bottle has a metal rim the design makes it easy to pour the oil. The oil is dispensed drop by drop which reduces any risk of over-pouring the product by mistake. It has a squarish maroon top which fits on top of the bottle with a click. There is no proper air tight seal however. The bottle if turned might leak easily. So basically this product is not fit to be carried around while travelling at all.

It has a perfume like smell resembling extremely slightly like almonds. Its not a natural almond smell anyways. It has a light oil like consistency. Not really sticky. When used in the hair its very important to use it in the right quantities because if overapplied, it may make the hair feel a bit sticky.

How I Use it

For Hair

I use it like I normally use hair oils. I apply it in my hair in the night, make a braid and sleep with it. In the morning, I wash my hair with my regular shampoo.

For Skin

I never use it for my facial skin or under eye area because this does have 77% mineral oil and I do not wish to use such synthetic oils on delicate skin. So I have used it on my hands and legs at times after my night time bath. I use 5-6 drops only for my skin per usage.

Effects

Hair It makes my hair soft and shiny. It nourishes my hair and makes them look healthy. However, I have to say I noticed nothing extraordinary about it. I mean even my regular hair oil does the same. The only difference is, it does not make my hair feel as sticky as my regular hair oil. Also, when a few drops are applied, it helps make dull and lifeless hair look healthier.

Skin It makes the skin of my hands and legs softer. Again nothing different from my regular oil or moisturiser. It is not super sticky but it is not like skin serum either. It does get absorbed fairly easily when used in appropriate amounts.

Overall I would say this is a really nice hair oil option for girls looking for a non sticky hair oil. However I have to say its effects are nothing different from my regular hair oil. It did not reduce my hair fall or cause any increased hair growth. It adds shine and lustre like my regular hair oil.

My disappointment being, the ingredients. First, the complete ingredient list is missing. Secondly the key ingredients mention 77% mineral oil. It contains around 21 % sweet almond oil with vegetable oil which means the actual amount of almond oil is still much lesser than 21%. In a nutshell, this has minimum amounts of actual almond oil. The bulk of this hair oil is made of mineral oil.

So although it performed well as a hair oil, I have my doubts on the actual nourishing qualities. It did not give my hair any long term benefits either. My brother actually likes this hair oil because of its non sticky nature. I guess this is a great product for people who like non sticky hair oils. At least this is better than not putting any hair oil at all.

2. Does nothing out of the box.
3. No long term hair benefits like reduced hairfall or increased growth.
4. The bottle must be kept safe as it may break easily.
5. Some people may not be very comfortable with the synthetic perfume like smell.

MBF Advices

1. Hair oil application is extremely essential for good hair growth, so always oil your hair at least once a week.
2. This is a great hair oil option for ladies who are not comfortable with stickiness of hair oil.
3. I always advice my friends to massage the hair oil softly on the scalp and be gentle while applying it.
4. If you do not like oiling your hair, try oiling just half an hour before washing your hair. You will notice your hair looks and feels much healthy post wash.
5. Never rub your hair between palms while oiling. Bring down your palms along the hair shaft gently.
6. If you are doing an overnight oil treatment, put a towel or some other cloth over the pillow to save the pillow cover from getting oil stains.

  1. I have always loved almond oil for my hair and skin, but this one always worked average. It’s true, this oil is almost completely made of mineral oil and vegetable oil. For those who do not read the reviews, they might be easily misled to believe that this is pure almond oil.
